"We are surprised but not worried about this recent decision in the case filed by Silverio Tagolino against Cong. Lucy Torres Gomez.

"In a similar case, the Supreme Court had already previously upheld the decision of the HRET [House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal] in our favor and dismissed the petition of her rival Eufrocino Codilla Jr.

"The issue of residency of Cong. Lucy Torres Gomez had long been settled with finality for which an Entry of Judgment had already been issued by the Supreme Court.

"We humbly believe this is a serious and reversible error.

"We will file a Motion for Reconsideration as soon as we receive a copy of this decision.

"In the meantime, Cong. Lucy shall continue to discharge her duties as the duly elected representative of the 4th district of Leyte.

"We are confident that in the end, justice shall be served only to those who are deserving."
